Sharing the Word in Haiti

Not long ago, Greg Roberts, our staff missionary, sent word that the church-run clinic that he's working with in Port au Prince needed Bibles to share with people. The people in their church still have a Bible, but those who come to the clinic -- some do not attend a church, some do not know of God, and the staff want to be able to share His love with them even after they leave the clinic. 


Erik Swanson, a gentleman who is a member of KnoxLife in Knoxville and assists our students with our homeless ministry, found a place to purchase New Testaments with Psalms in them in the Kreyol (Creole) language the Haitian people speak for $9.99 each. A full Bible is over $30. So, we set out to get at least 100 of these New Testaments to send to Haiti. 

We put out the word to our friends and family. Through Twitter, Facebook, email and word-of-mouth, God moved people to give, and provided enough to purchase 140 New Testaments. Small enough to fit in a pocket or purse, we know that the words these people will read hold life. 

Soon, 140 Haitians will get their very own copy of the New Testament! Thanks to you! If you'd like to help provide more, visit the Donations page on churchofthecove.org and give! Choose the Haiti button, and when you make the donation, be sure to note in the "Special ways you want these funds spent?" box that you want it to go to Bibles.
